What are the operating temperatures of the coatings Plas-Tech applies?

The operating temperature range varies by coating, be we cover the range from cryogenic to 500°F (260°C).

What is your current lead time?

Our lead times can vary depending upon the quantity and complexity of the parts being coated. Generally our lead times run 3 to 5 working days. For large orders, we can ship partial lots. If you need faster lead times, call us, we will give you an honest answer to your request.

How long will the coating last?

The life of the coating is dependant upon the application and operating conditions. You can be assured that Plas-Tech will recommend the best coating(s) for your application.

Depending on the coating selected for your application, we may have only one color (usually black) or we may have up to a dozen colors available. In some cases, custom colors can be made (additional fees may apply).

Are any of your coatings FDA approved?

For food contact uses, there are a number of coatings that comply with the FDA regulations in 21 CFR governing components of coatings for direct food contact. For medical uses, each coating must be tested against the criteria dictated by its end use.

Are any of your coatings NSF approved?

NSF approval requires submitting documentation particular to the coating and its end use. We have supported our customers in numerous successful NSF submissions.
